EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back in time, this print captures the historic King Harry Passage in Feock, Cornwall before the revolutionary introduction of the steam driven chain ferry in 1888. The image showcases a bustling scene on the Trelissick side of the river, where passengers and carriages are being carefully unloaded while horses are tended to on the riverbank. The composition is rich with elements that paint a vivid picture of life during this era. A prominent cornish building stands tall in the background, its weathered walls telling stories of generations past. The wheels of horse-drawn carriages can be seen resting upon a ladder-like structure, ready to transport their occupants across the waterway. The tranquil waters reflect both nature's beauty and man's ingenuity as they merge seamlessly with lush greenery framing either side. Towering trees provide shade and serenity to those awaiting their turn for passage or simply enjoying a moment by the riverside. Though captured by an unknown photographer, this remarkable snapshot transports us into an age when technology was yet to dominate our lives. It reminds us of simpler times when human connection and natural landscapes took precedence over commercial pursuits. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a visual portal into history; it invites contemplation about how far we have come while appreciating the timeless charm that still resonates within these ancient shores.
